Abstract
Aggregation functions have been widely used as a method to fuse data in a large number of applications. In most of them, the data can be modeled as a simple random sample. Thus, it is reasonable to treat the aggregated values as random variables. In this paper, the concept of aggregation functions of random variables with respect to a stochastic order is presented. Additionally, four alternatives for the choice of the adequate order are considered and their benefits and drawbacks are studied.
